Once you have passed the test you must pass the Practical Examination within a 2 year period.

When you take lessons from Pass with Paul we can provide you with examples of questions and discuss your answers with you to ensure you know what to expect and are confident in your knowledge.

The Theory Test is multiple choice questions, you are allowed 57 minutes and must score at least 43 out of 50

The Hazard Perception Test consists of 14 video clips, each approximately one minute in length.
In each clip there are a number of driving situations involving other road users as seen from a car driver's point of view.
In each clip there are various hazards, something that will cause a driver to change speed, direction or stop.

There are 13 clips having one hazard to identify and in the other 1 there are 2.
You will not be told which of the hazard perception test clip has two hazards.
To identify the correct hazard or hazards you need to click on either the left or right mouse button.
The earlier you can identify the correct hazard or hazards the more you score.

The scoring is from five to zero points, total points available 75. You must score at least 44 to pass.

Refresher Lesson

Driving today is very different to driving thirty or even twenty years ago. If you haven’t driven often or very far in the last few years maybe you have lost a bit of your confidence.
Perhaps you have changed your job and will now have to use the car, become a parent or grandparent and need to travel further afield than of late or maybe you need to take over driving yourself and the family around due to a change in circumstances.

If you are feeling nervous then instead of worrying about driving why not book a refresher lesson(s) from Pass with Paul.
Call today and I will discuss your apprehensions with you and put together one or more practical lessons to cover those specific areas to enable you drive safely and with confidence.
